At Scanline VFX part of my responsibilities included creating hyper realistic effects based on natural phenomena for blockbuster movies and big budget television series under very tight and strict deadlines. During y time at the company I received training to use their property software "Flowline" and I used it in production to create large scale special effects for ambitious shots, other than Flowline I also used Houdini, 3DSMax and Nuke to develop special effects according to the necessities of each project. A very important aspect of the studio was working and coordinating with other FX artists to tackle effects for entire sequences and helping decide the best approach for multi-shot tasks. Most of the times I was required to work with people not only from Montreal but also from Vancouver and sometimes from other parts of the world; communication, patience and self reliance were key skills I needed and that I improved when working with the team at Scanline.Shows:-Avatar: The Last Airbender (2024)-Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom (2023)-Nyad (2023)-Yu Yu Hakusho (2023)-The Grey Man (2022)-Moonfall (2022)
